Yuvraj Singh is counted among the great all-rounders in the history of Indian cricket. In his career, especially in ODI and T20 formats, he made the Indian team win many matches. He had a very important contribution in the victory of 2007 T20 World Cup and 2011 ODI World Cup. Yuvraj had also supported the team in the fight against deadly disease like cancer. However, his contribution is not limited to just playing. Even after retirement, he continued to serve and gave two star players to the Indian team. Let us know who are those two players and how Yuvi helped them?

'Miracle' done in 35 days

Yuvraj Singh is considered the mentor of two star players of the Indian team, Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma. Since the days of Under-19, he has taught the qualities of cricket to both the players. From time to time he has been working on the techniques of both, the benefit of which is being benefited by Team India today. Gill has created a stir in ODI and Test. He is called the successor of Virat Kohli. Whereas Abhishek Sharma remains the king of T20. Yuvraj Singh has a very important role in the game of these two.

Although Yuvraj never did professional coaching, he never shied away from helping the players. He did the same thing during the Corona epidemic in 2020. He turned the difficult situation into an opportunity and invited both of them to his home for a 35-day training camp. During this period, he worked hard on the techniques of both. Gill had made his debut for India in 2019 itself but was struggling to score runs as per his ability.

But Yuvraj worked on his stance and playing approach during 5 weeks to improve it. After this he became lethal and scored runs. He had made many records in International and IPL. Whereas Abhishek Sharma started being called the second 'Yuvraj Singh' after seeing his ability to hit sixes. Abhishek Sharma himself had also admitted that both of them got tremendous benefit from those 35 days of training. Abhishek had said in the interview that first in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, then in the IPL, his performance was impressive. Let us tell you that he also made his debut for Team India in T20 this year.

Gave training to these players also

During this period, Yuvraj had trained not only Shubhman Gill and Abhishek Sharma but also Anmolpreet Singh and Prabhsimran Singh of Punjab. Prabhasimran had performed brilliantly while opening for Punjab Kings in the last season of IPL. Therefore, the franchise retained him for IPL 2025 by paying Rs 4 crore. Anmolpreet has played for Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians. However, this year he remained unsold.
